For the moment, I'm still using R5F27 and would like to add tuxracer to it.

As root, I tried "apt-get update" and then "apt-get install tuxracer" and got the error "E: Couldn't find package tuxracer"

My /etc/apt/sources.list file contains:
Code:
#Debian repos
deb http://ftp.debian.org stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org stable main contrib non-free

#For FreeNX
#deb http://packages.debianbase.de/testing/i386/nx/ ./

#For xorg-edit
#deb http://debian.geole.info/ stable main contrib non-free

#For additional multimedia packages
deb http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia stable main
deb-src http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia stable main

Is there another apt-get source I should add to get tuxracer?

Advice appreciated,
Eric

Hi,

You may be calling it by the wrong name. I would suggest installing synaptic then run it as su (not su -) That way you can seach for the name and if there is not an exact match it usually puts you where you can filter the list by eye.

As with any installs, watch closely for upgrade / removal as they often will hose something you don't want to loose.

Wow. I had no idea you could run Synaptic Package Manager in Knoppmyth! I thought it was purely a Ubuntu thing.

I installed Synaptic, updated it and searched for tux*, and tuxracer. Neither one was there. I did find an entry for "racer". I searched Google for more info. It looks like a stripped down version of tuxracer.

I guess tuxracer simply isn't in the stable apt-get repositories! I wonder why they don't consider it stable?? The latest version was released back in 2001. There have not been any updates since then!
see http://tuxracer.sourceforge.net/

I just tried to put unstable sources in my sources.list and it didn't help - no tuxracer.

I guess we have to download the source code and compile it ourselves?
I just downloaded the source files, untar-ed them and tried the ./configure command. It bombed out with errors:

I've hit the wall. I guess Tuxracer is a no-go.

On my eee 701 it's called Penguin Racer. Try looking for that.

The package is now called planetpenguin-racer:

Quote:
Package: tuxracer (0.61-7)

dummy transition package

The game TuxRacer isn't developed anymore, but a fork called PlanetPenguin Racer exists. This is an empty transition package, with the purpose to install the new package planetpenguin-racer on upgrades.

The packages tuxracer, tuxracer-data and tuxracer-extras can safely be removed.

I have Extreme Tux Racer loaded up.
Installed threw Synaptic Package Manager. Works good.

http://www.extremetuxracer.com/

Tux Racer, Frozen Bubble and Synaptic Package Manager were in the early R5??.iso's until space on the cd became a problem.

They even have a Windoze version.

PS: Pingus is another game that my kid likes that also works well. Synaptic Package Manager also.

Hey! I was able to "apt-get install planetpenguin-racer" without a problem.
It works. I've played several games. I need more practice :)

I looked for "extremetuxracer" in the stable apt-get respository using Synaptic and using apt-get - not there.
